Séamas O'Reilly: Prestige Drama, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

"Séamas O'Reilly has created a vast mosaic of voices, each sparkling with heartache and wit. I'm in love with every character in this novel, and like most prestige dramas, it ended far too soon." ---Caroline O'Donoghue, author of The Rachel Incident

A dazzling novel about a community where an upcoming film production brings their past into sharp focus---and nobody's version is the same.

In Derry, the locals are already in a twist about the arrival of Hollywood actress Monica Logue to research her role for a show about the Troubles---and then she goes missing. Everyone has a story to tell---about Monica's possible whereabouts, and about the historic events that brought her here in the first place: the show's screenwriter, desperate for this last shot at success; the grieving mother whose story he's adapting; the ex-IRA member who knows the price of survival; the local psychic who's seen too much ...

Prestige Drama brings to life a chorus of characters as they locate themselves in Monica's disappearance, and in the truth about their own history. From the author of the acclaimed memoir Did Ye Hear Mammy Died? , Prestige Drama is heartbreaking, hilarious, and profound, an indelible portrait of a community both obsessed with its past, and desperate to forget it.
